loose leaf tea - the kettle shed*
last week the lovely zoe who runs the kettle yard, a website that specialises in selling loose leaf tea (the website is so cute!) asked me if i wanted to review some tea, well you know this was a no brainer for me!
the variety they sell is huuugeeee; black, green, oolong, jasmine, white, blooming, fruit and herbal. i love they little tins they come in as well, mama has put them amongst the pretty things on our kitchen windowsill.
enjoying a brew in our jazzy kitchen, i'm a big fan of our multicoloured union jack tablecloth, tea tastes better in a nice mug (espesh' if it has a map on it!)
brew time: three to four minutes
this is a black tea that can be enjoyed with milk or a slice of lemon (i prefer milk)
it has a distinct tangy and slightly smokey taste, it won't convert me from my earl grey but it was a nice change.
brew time: five to ten minutes
this smells beaauutttiful, you can really taste the mango in it and its worth waiting that little bit longer to get the full flavour.
brew time: five to ten minutes
this is a very bold tasting tea, the strawberry is very prominent and the after taste is lovely and a bit tangy.
brew time: one to three minutes
this is very refreshing and light, the smell is gorgeous. zoe also told me it was lovely cold, i can confirm this especially with a few ice cubes!
love livvy

love everything about this post (and that union jack tablecloth is adorable)! i'm really tempted to taste green pear, it sounds like a wonderful blend (:

They all sound lovely, I need to use loose teas more now that I have a tea strainer! Love the cute packaging x
ReplyDeleteTheres a really cute tea company called QuinTEAssential that make the most amazing loose leaf teas, they're similar to this one by the sounds of things! These sound so tasty though and I love that they come in the little tins!
